939 stone guards

the tape used on the porsche 930 is made by 3m, but no one sells it wide enought to cover beetle arch, when i tried it using 3m if i made them as high as carbon joes arch protectors, there was no way i could get them to sit smooth as you just cant get all bubbles out, with the way the beetle wing curves,

hey guys, i just ordered some stuff from the robot wars link that loaf posted. im gonna give it a shot on my own. according to the site one can get different thickness of material. some more difficult to work than others also some can be ordered with adhesive back. if all goes ok i plan on making some other stuff for my ride. if it looks ok i will post some photos and let interested parties choose for themselves whether or not they would like to give it a try themselves. so stay tuned folks (as they used to say on the old batman episodes) the worst is yet to come.
